Odd coincidence
jaredm: Just sold my PowerMac G5 (2004 version) for $700.  Gotta love a Mac’s resale value.  Score! :) Strangely enough I just sold the exact same model last week for the exact same price.

Yey, phone!
So a followup to my irritated semi-rant. I called up Apple’s customer relations first thing Monday morning. The tech I spoke to earlier that weekend had already given me a claim number, so thankfully I was speaking to a human being pretty quickly. After running through some basic tests and explaining my situation, the rep put me on hold and investigated the phone’s history, my...

“Everything is amazing right now, and nobody’s happy.”
– Louis CK. This entire video is quotable. (I tried posting this last night, and my router died. Had to keep my cool to evade irony.) (via inky) An even better quote from this clip “We live in an amazing, amazing world, and it’s wasted on the crappiest generation of spoiled...

Corporate Account
falconieri: I think it’s complete bullshit that as the 3rd man in a 3 man IT department that we have to purchase shit for the company and then expense it on OUR OWN PERSONAL CREDIT CARDS. If someone else told me that is what their company does I would laugh at them and call them stupid for doing it. The company is worth $200 Million, I am worth $45 dollars if I do not buy a coffee that day. Our...

Mmm... smells like planned obsolescence
I bought the first generation iPhone in December 2007. Like clockwork yesterday, exactly 58 days after my warranty expired, the phone no longer responds to being charged and prompts a “USB over current” notice when plugged into a computer. My best guess is that the phone has a loose solder joint or a short in the charging circuit. I take it to the local Apple store and get the...

Canon's service & support hauls the bacon
My 50mm f/1.4 USM mysteriously stopped focusing shortly after being dropped. After deciding it was unreasonable to try to repair it myself, I filled out my warranty card, boxed it up and sent it to NJ’s Canon service center. (The urge to take it apart myself was almost unbearable) I was a little worried that this kind of repair wouldn’t fall under their warranty, but sure enough...
